The former Chelsea and Manchester City striker is joined by fellow goalscorer Steven Gerrard and full-back Glen Johnson in our XI, as Brendan Rodgers' men pulled level on points with Arsenal and within four of fifth-placed Merseyside rivals Everton.

Manchester United duo Rio Ferdinand and Michael Carrick also make the cut despite having to settle for a late draw against Tottenham on Sunday afternoon, while David De Gea just misses out after flapping under pressure from Steven Caulker in the build-up to Clint Dempsey's equaliser.

Instead, Toffees stopper Tim Howard features in goal with the American on hand to thwart Southampton throughout Monday's goalless stalemate.

Double-goalscorer David Silva is included in our side for the fourth time this season following his two strikes in Manchester City's 2-0 victory over Fulham. The Spaniard is joined by team-mate Pablo Zabaleta, who continues to impress at right-back for the champions.

Sunderland striker Steven Fletcher's two goals in Saturday's 3-2 comeback win over Wigan sees the Scotsman make his first appearance in this season's TOTW, and he is joined by fellow debutant Adam Le Fondre, who struck twice to seal a crucial 2-1 victory for Reading against Newcastle.

QPR's Clint Hill rounds off our XI following the 1-1 draw away to West Ham with Loic Remy, who scored on his Rs debut, just failing to make the cut. Luis Suarez, Charles N'Zogbia and Alfred N'Diaye are all unfortunate to miss out.
